We did rate one VPN service higher overall when we reviewed them. NordVPN scored five stars because it has a smart and consistent interface and a deep and extensive website. It’s technically not as capable as CyberGhost (which has better specifications). But it is our top pick for a virtual private network because it’s incredibly easy to use and makes it easy to create a secure connection with a variety of devices, from smartphones and laptops to smart TVs and routers.

Pricing: NordVPN is a bit more affordable and the better product overall. Number of servers: CyberGhost is technically better with over 7,900 servers. Number of countries: CyberGhost has far more connections in other countries. Number of devices: CyberGhost allows you to connect with up to seven devices.
